Just did my first 1000km service this afternoon. I didnt know that they will not change the engine oil, normally like toyota they will. IF they are not planning to change the engine oil during the first 1000km service , maybe we dont really need to break in the engine. Maybe after 500km of breakng in we can start to speed. Just my thoughts tho...

You're not bothered or not aware about engine break-in?

Not bothered.Hahaha..

Engine still working perfectly well after all the hard thrashing and over revving at 190km/h..

Japs still make very reliable cars..

1 year 3 months might be a lil too soon to tell...

But I from what I understand it's not a short term thing. It's more of a long term effect.

Its ok,planning to sell this car in 2 years time...sien already =p

There is needless to exaggerate the engine break-in period.

IMO, the engine will be fine as long as you don't floor the acceleration pedal, sudden rev'ing of the engine and driving your ride roughly.

Hi All,

I will get my car next week (postpone again). What's the procedure of selling my old car to outsider (don't plan to trade it in with Honda). What documents do I need to sign? Please advise.

I also offered with Ray Barrier (front/rear windscreens) + Ecotint Hydrid 6 mil (all 4 side windows) at RM1900. Is it worth it ?

what mean floor the acceleration pedal??? mean press the acceleration pedal to the max??

yes.

something off topic......so far i had been driving for so long...i never drive a road car with floor the acceleration pedal....except go-kart la

just get my car today.. and i wanna ask u guys..
the parking brake and break system indicator turns on even i din lift up the hand break...izit normal? anyone can confirm this?
when i start driving the light indicator turns on and when i life the hand break up the light even more darker. anyone can confirm this izit normal or my car wiring got problem? the indicator at the fuel dashboard there.. a round with "!" marks.

I don't think it's normal, i mean my indicator will disappear once the hand brake down. Please consult your SC asap.

Bro, tat 1 is power steering indicator. Mine is after start thn it gone.

He's referring to one around the fuel indicator...and that's for handbrake indicator..

@terry007
If the handbrake is not lifted, the indicator should be "Off"..
You should go SC and check it..

Ops....sorry, is my mistake.

Just go back to SC to check.. If you didn't lift up the handbrake.. the light indicator shouldn't light up...

another possibility is the hand brake oil having problem: either leak or at low level?

u can get rm1800 from lowyat forum, dont take hybrid, better take raybarrier63+security film for sides....
i got offer from my SA just rm1500. walk in price rm2400, lowyat forum rm1800....

Thanks for the reply. Seem the price range is not too far different
The hydrid that I chose is a security tint from Ecotint as well with 6 mil thickness & will be used for the sides.

One way to avoid the sound is to change the gear slowly.

i.e. R - N - D

D to R and R to D will both produce the sound if we do it too fast.

I don't know what is the causing the sound but maybe the gearbox is responding too slow.
Time for DSG maybe?
